MySpace Bulletin Case Study

By David Turnbull
7 ?/ R2 T" Q0 K2 d1 ^First, I selected an appropriate offer from Azoogle.

ID: 1876
Name: Superb Rewards - Free IPOD Nano (Brand New!)

$ x; a. P1 w7 ?4 }Why did I choose this offer?
- Pays for just the E-Mail; a simple action that can be completed by 99% of people.
- Decent Payment ($1.40); One of the higher paying iPod offers so I thought it was a good choice.
% v) Q/ }+ S" J  F- Good Reward (iPod Nano); iPods are all the craze lately, some may say it is saturated but a lot of people still don???t have, and want an iPod.
- q9 |6 e+ w$ X2 ~5 r; k- Appeals to my demographic; It???s usually the younger people wanting iPods, so 18-25 is usually a good range.

4 i1 j0 R- S- F! uI have a MySpace account with 5400 friends (as of now) and I posted a simple bulletin with the following fields:

% X: w" _: ^8 ]7 i; SSubject: WOW!!! THIS IS SO EASY!!!
/ K0 p. o# h4 Q) |1 _) W$ v3 V* rBody: Anyone with a MySpace account can get a FREE iPod just by entering your email address into this form!!!" CLICK HERE!!!

Of course, I linked the CLICK HERE!!! to my advertisers web address.

The Results?
Nothing too spectacular. I got about 10 people clicking on my Link and half of them completed the offer, so I didn???t make too much.

Why? Probably because I???ve used this account for advertising in the past and people have become wary to avoid my bulletins. I did convert at 50% though, so that???s very good ??「 I just needed more clicks.

Here is some motivation to get started, as MySpace Bulletin advertising definitely can work.
  E/ C' v" p, l% n
  Y$ c3 F% F; w( t$ u# pYou have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each.*
4 J. o7 }, @0 P7 D3 z/ kPost a bulletin on each account.
Each gives $4.20 (Just 3 Conversions!)$420 in your pocket.
That is a very rough example, but definitely possible.

8 g" M7 P" t9 Z% x; N; aBulletins get buried fairly quickly also, so if you post 3 a day, and say you get an average of $2 per bulletin.

You have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each.
Post a bulletin on each account 3 Times a Day.
Each gives $2.00
$2.00 x 3 = $6.00
$6.00 x 100 Accounts

; P* d7 c$ `, ~" m: nFor those looking for the quick route you could also check out ScreenNameForum.com ??「 this forum allows you to purchase accounts or bulletins.

*You may not have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each, so maybe cut a deal with other MySpacers (basically revenue sharing) and decide to advertise one Azoogle offer together and then split the profits accordingly.
